about

For my mother on her birthday.

lyrics

I knew your love
Before I even knew your name
No other could give what you gave to me
Lindy
Yours was the first
Heartbeat I'd heard
No other has given what you gave to me
Lindy

I carry you around now
You are never far away
I carry you around
You are never far from me
I cannot put you down
You gave me everything
I have your own father's arms
And your children's children on my knee

Unique among all others
Mother
The one who gave me birth

I was your sunflower bud
On the wall of your womb
Unfolding in the depths of the earth

I heard your voice
Before I could speak
It can be a brutal world
But there was room for me
There was room for me
There was room for me
Lindy

I knew your touch
Before I was seen
I was a stranger
And you welcomed me

Lindy

I carry you around now
You are never far away
I carry you around
You are never far from me

Armfuls of memories come
Like a harvest none too late
Cherry tomato cheekbones
As you prepare everyone a plate

I cannot put you down
You gave me everything
